Rex Trailer Dies at 84; Share Your Memories, Photos

I remember Boomtown well and can still sing the theme song, but does anyone remember that Rex hosted…Read More a Saturday afternoon bowling show from Bowlers World in Framingham.( RT 9 east at the current site of Legal Seafood) in the 60's. I was thrilled to appear on the show. It is difficult to imagine now, but bowling was huge in Massachusetts in the 50s and 60s. Rex's show was 10pin, but Candlepins were also hugely popular. Natick also had 2 ten pin lanes on route 9 as well as candlepin lanes. Framingham had three candlepin alleys downtown. They are all gone. The Fairway in Natick was the last to close about 2 years ago

How about simply being able to answer "Yes" or "No"?! It's gonna be tough to recapture the awe and wonder of Armstrong's time, as space exploration was still fairly new and given such intense purpose and national pride due to the space race with the Soviets. Space is not largely viewed as that exciting any more (even though it certainly IS!), and Americans are focused on a poor economy and more complex and ambiguous geopolitical situation than was the case in the 60s.

Using PublicEye® on their phones, everyone in public safety from the police and fire chiefs, first responders, medical staff, volunteers, and the general public can collaborate to perform their tasks. This vision extends to neighboring jurisdictions working as a single seamless unit.
This world is already a reality. Many communities are benefiting – yours can too. For more information, watch our 5-minute overview video on the right, sign up for a free webinar or contact us below!
PublicEye is a product that runs on every major smartphone and tablet. PublicEye
provides collaboration, situational awareness, data fusion and many operational
tools. Features include mapped objects such as 911 calls, real-time alerts, video
surveillance and streaming, digital radio, multi-jurisdiction support, CAD, RMS
and Twitter integration.
An important aspect of a fire department is the ability to celebrate your traditions and still maintain the idea of innovation. PublicEye®, for us, is the most recent innovation we've had. It's a technology that's come at the right time.
With the iPad…[officers are] getting the information much quicker than they used to. This information is vital to the decisions they make so they can make fast, reliable, quick decisions at a moment's notice.
Earlier in the year, members of the Portsmouth, NH Fire Department were dispatched to a 911 emergency call. Upon finishing with the call, they looked at the screen of their smart devices running PublicEye® to see another call. Due to visually seeing the call on the map, they headed there immediately. It wasn't for several more minutes that the radio dispatch finally voiced out the call to them. By using PublicEye®, they were able to respond faster and were now equipped with all known details before arriving.
StateTech Magazine has published an article profiling three government agencies using mobile technology to enhance their work. Craig Withycombe of the Lowell Police Department is featured, sharing the benefits of PublicEye® for a mobile police force.
The article discusses Lowell's decision to switch to iPads, and breaks down Withycombe's decision in regards to cost, usability, and versatility. "Our officers want iPads because they allow them to be much more mobile," he says.
Law Enforcement Product News released its Gold Star Top Products of 2013 and PublicEye® made the cut! The criteria is based on the most popular inquiries from its readers. We're very honored to have been one of the most requested products of the year!
Mark Boynton, the fire chief in Amherst, New Hampshire, has begun a pilot program with his department using three iPads loaded with PublicEye®.
Boynton sees the software as a vast improvement over the previous pager system, which required responders to use valuable time to look up locations on a paper map. Any Amherst 911 fire call now appears within seconds on maps on the department's iPads. The maps also include fire hydrants, hazards, and other data points. Amherst was the first fire department in the country to begin using PublicEye®.
PublicEye® is a product that runs on every major smartphone and tablet. Its unprecedented power comes from fully leveraging today's mobile devices — all of your staff should have access to a mobile device anytime, anywhere. For departments shifting towards a mobilized force, you can now run PublicEye® on your existing ruggedized PCs and Toughbooks. You can access all of PublicEye®'s rich features right on your existing installed hardware. Our flexible architecture means seamless communication between all devices on the network, whether they are iOS, Android, or Windows 8/RT...
When the Bedford Fire Department in NH wanted to update their aging technology, they made the switch to iPads armed with PublicEye®. The iPads are lighter, more portable, and more cost-effective. Further, PublicEye® has increased their efficiency and situational awareness. "I can't stress how much it has made things much more efficient for the fire department to do it this way," said Lt. Lambert of Bedford...
Zco's public safety solution was featured at two events put together by Apple and technology supplier CDW-G. Zco's Vice President of Business Development, Gary Mueller, was on hand to demonstrate how to upgrade legacy systems with mobile solutions to keep police officers and firefighters connected at all times.
Zco Corporation, developer of PublicEye®, an iPad and Android based multifunctional law enforcement tool for police officers in the field and Larimore Associates, a leading provider of Computer Aided Dispatch Systems, have worked closely to make their products interoperable with each other. Customers will realize unprecedented choice and flexibility through improved interoperability between these systems. Larimore's CAD systems provide a high degree of automation for the critical processes in the medium and large size police departments.
We're hiring sales and software support representatives for our PublicEye®. Take a look at our careers page – if you're familiar with Computer-Aided Dispatch and Records Management Systems and want to work on the cutting edge of technology, you could be just who we're looking for!
Here at PublicEye headquarters in Nashua, New Hampshire, we are only forty minutes away from Boston. The city is close to our heart, and #BostonStrong is still on our minds on the anniversary of the 2013 Boston Marathon...

From D.C. United Reports
WASHINGTON, D.C., Aug. 9, 2012 -- D.C. United midfielder and former JMU All-America Kurt Morsink ('07) has announced his retirement from professional soccer.
Morsink will remain with D.C. United as the club's scouting coordinator.
"We're very pleased to be able to bring on Kurt as a scouting coordinator," said D.C. United General Manager Dave Kasper. "Kurt has been a great locker room guy for us and brings a unique background to the role, having grown up in Central America and attended college in the states. After three seasons here at D.C. United, he understands the club, and our vision, and we're pleased to keep him on as a part of the team. Full credit for this new hire is due to our investment group, who has made expanding our scouting reach a priority."
Morsink finishes his professional career after six seasons in MLS. The 28-year-old was originally drafted by the Kansas City Wizards in the fourth round of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. He spent three seasons in Kansas City, before being acquired D.C. United prior to the 2010 campaign. The San Jose, Costa Rica, native played in 69 league matches (45 starts), registering three assists.
Morsink was a four-year starter for the Dukes from 2003-06. He currently ranks fourth all-time on JMU's career assist list (29), fifth in points (32) and tied seventh in goals (32). As a senior he was named to the College Soccer News All-America Third Team. Morsink was a three-time NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Association of America) All-South Atlantic First Team selection and a three-time Colonial Athletic Association First Team honoree.

A rising number of reports about deaths, injuries and malfunctions linked to the robotic surgery system made by Intuitive Surgical may pressure hospitals to bolster training for doctors using the $1.5 million device.
The Food and Drug Administration received 3,697 adverse event reports through Nov. 3, compared with 1,595 through all of 2012, an agency official said in an interview last week. While the FDA said the surge may be tied to added public awareness from more use of the machines or recent media reports and recalls, a survey of surgeons released the same day suggested the complex robot interface was a challenge to master and that physician training was inconsistent.
Standardized training on new medical technologies "is a systemic problem," said Robert Sweet, a medical training expert at the University of Minnesota, in a telephone interview. The spotlight on robotic surgery may help to focus needed attention on the issue, he said.
"Training for robotics has been the wild, wild west for a long, long time," Jeff Berkley, chief executive of Mimic Technologies, which makes simulators used for robotic training, said by phone yesterday. With patient lawsuits on the rise, hospitals and doctor organizations are realizing "they have to get their act together and start focusing on training."
The main problem will be how to pay for and oversee the training of widely scattered physicians, Sweet said.
The doctor survey released by the FDA on Nov. 8 included 11 surgeons who have performed from 70 to 600 robot surgeries each. While the physicians, who weren't identified, said the robots led to fewer complications and shorter recoveries, they also reported diverse patient problems. These included reversible limb palsy, temporary nerve damage in the fingers, bleeding from perforated bowels and peripheral vision loss.
Adverse incident reports can be sent to the FDA by companies, medical professionals and patients. While they are largely unverified by the agency, they can sometimes serve as a first-alert that U.S. regulators should look more closely at a product.
Angela Wonson, a spokeswoman for Sunnyvale, Calif.- based Intuitive, said that added training is available for surgeons who request it "in many forms - from the manufacturer, from their hospital and from surgical societies."
While the company was "pleased with the surveyed surgeons' very positive observations about the benefits of robotic surgery, this small informal survey cannot serve as the basis for any scientifically valid conclusions," Wonson said in the Nov. 8 company statement.
Intuitive has faced scrutiny this year over the marketing, cost effectiveness and safety of its robots. In July, the company received an FDA warning letter after an inspection found it hadn't adequately reported adverse events and device corrections. It also faces about 50 liability lawsuits from patients who allege injuries tied to the robot
"We don't let inadequately trained people fly airplanes and excuse it by saying that added training is available for pilots who request it," wrote Erik Gordon, a professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, in an e-mail.
Bloomberg News reported last month that the rising use of robotic surgery has largely been fueled by aggressive marketing tactics by the company, as well as doctors and hospitals that gain a competitive edge from the use of the robots.
This includes advertising that, in some cases, inflated the robot advantages by claiming fewer complications without proof and ignored broad-based contradictory studies finding little or no advantage to their use over conventional, less- invasive surgeries.
Since Bloomberg News first reported in February on the existence of the FDA survey, the company's shares have fallen about 32 percent. On Oct. 17, Intuitive reported a decline in third-quarter profit as a result of lower sales.
In robot-assisted surgery, a physician sits at a video- game-style console several feet from the patient and peers into a high-definition display. Foot pedals and hand controls move mechanical arms equipped with tools, guided by a 3-D camera that shows the work as it is done inside a patient.
The FDA incident reports related to Intuitive's robotic surgical system include injuries and deaths linked to robotic surgery operations, as well as malfunctions where no injury occurred. The agency first began looking at adverse events associated with the robots in 2011, when there were just 511 reports, said William Maisel, the chief scientist for the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
"We identified issues that warranted additional investigation, and that prompted us to go out to the company and inspect them," Maisel said in a telephone interview. The agency will continue to monitor the reports, he said.
"No one should be concluding simply from the increase in adverse event reports that there is a problem with the device and it should not be used," Maisel said, adding the agency doesn't have information suggesting the rate of robotic surgery adverse events is increasing.
Wonson, Intuitive's spokeswoman, said that "while the absolute number of adverse events have increased with the growth of procedures, the total adverse event rates have remained low and in line with historical trends."
The surgeons surveyed by the FDA suggested doctors need time to learn how to use the foot pedals and perform operations. Two urologists said patient safety was "directly related to the surgeon's training experience," according to the FDA report.
All but one of the surgeons surveyed reported having trouble with the robot's arms, which sometimes had to be repaired or replaced. Only three were aware of recalls related to the device.
Robot operations haven't been proven in randomized trials to offer significant health benefits compared with standard, less-invasive surgery and multiple studies show they can cost thousands of dollars more. A study released in September of 16,000 women in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology found that using the system for hysterectomies in woman with benign conditions didn't reduce complications compared with conventional less-invasive techniques.
In gynecology, the doctors told the FDA the da Vinci system is particularly well suited for hysterectomies for patients with cancer or for uterus-preserving surgery to remove benign growths called fibroids. The urologists surveyed said the system was a good fit for prostate surgery and adrenal gland removal, and less well suited for kidney removal surgery, according to the FDA report.
Intuitive's robotic surgery system was first cleared by the FDA for use in the U.S. in 2000 after a trial on 233 patients, done at a hospital in Mexico City. The 1998 trial compared robotic surgery in 113 patients with conventional operations for removing the gall bladder or treating heartburn. The study found no advantage for robotics, FDA officials told an advisory panel at an agency hearing in 1999.

Use getch() from the ncurses library.
Try Google.
Alright then, if you want it spoon-fed to you, how about:
Then see what c contains when the user presses "e", for example by using printf, and if you need an example of that as well then it might be something like
Then you can test for that specific value. And here's an example:
(change CODE_FOR_E to the number returned by the previous bit).
int c=getch();
int c=getch(); if (c==CODE_FOR_E) { printf("User pressed E\n"); }
I have no intention of getting flamed now ..he he .And Thanks for putting together that code yeah but I'm doing it by using threads.
you will need the thread that will moniter the char to stop the printing . Create the new thread and use getchar( ) in that thread this will continue with the printing . till you press 'e' or 'E' .
this can be solved like this
#include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int main(){ int i=0; printf("enter key a to stop running"); char a='o'; while(a!='a'){ while(!kbhit()){ printf("\n%d",++i); } a=getch(); } printf("\nyou pressed a and stopped the process!!!"); getchar(); }

Question by familygrokumentarian 12456 · Mar 17 '11 at 01:46 AM · 2-sides-of-the-same-coin family friends evangelism nerds
Sure, you might be judged initially as a completely insane renegade, given the amounts of butter, animal fat, and other delights you unabashedly hork down in front of family and friends.
But then...they ask a few questions...and you start drawing on your bank of long-accumulated paleo knowledge. Suddenly you're talking about the proper balance of omegas, the way your body reacts to excess fructose, the process of ketosis, etc. You've revealed yourself to be a huge nutrition nerd, albeit one that glug-glugs heavy cream into your coffee with reckless abandon.
So what's the final verdict? In the end, are you perceived to be an insubordinate rebel peeling off of a dietary cliff Thelma-and-Louise style, or a nerdy [or even...sigh...orthorexic] square who follows a set of dietary rules so complex they deserve their own auditing organization?
(Finally, it's OK if you want to answer that you don't really care what anyone thinks because paleo works for you and that's all that matters to you...but...just for fun...could you at least give the verdict that you think your loved ones would render?)

I am wise because I helped my mother lower her blood pressure and my dad probably thinks that I imbued magnesium with magical feel-good powers (I just gave him citrate which actually gets absorbed).
So I'm a wizard, and wizards are geeks but they also get to use awesome magic.
Answer by DAC 1018 · Mar 17 '11 at 02:23 AM
I have a history with eating disorders so my credibility is sort of shot in the family circle. They probably see my interest in paleo eating as another manifestation of my obsession with food, but they indulge me, because hey - "at least she's eating." Honestly, if the roles were reversed I probably wouldn't take me seriously until I'd stuck with it for a year or two, or until some measurable health benefits showed up. So far I've only been at this a few months.
That said - I have got them using coconut oil, and interested in the idea of grass-fed meat. As I told my Mom last week: "It's not just that you are what you eat; you are what you eat ate."

My relatives think I am crazy, and for some odd reason they think I am vegan just because I eat vegetables. They have seen me eat pounds of meat in one sitting countless of times but they seem to overlook the meat and see the veggies. You don't know how much times I have been given fake eggs, soy meat, and a bunch of other crap because they think I am that kinda of healthy, you know, the ones afraid of fat and cholesterol. They also think I am weird because one: I don't eat tortillas, a big no-no for a Mexican; two I don't eat beans, another big no-no for a Mexican, and three because I eat weird vegetables. You could imagine how much awkward stares I get at parties. Their motto is, your going to die anyway, so why bother.

I've convinced my brother, who has - along with his wife - jumped on the paleo/primal bandwagon whole-heartedly. Our sisters, on the other hand, think we're nuts (especially the RN). My husband and I have also convinced a couple of our (diabetic) employees that this is the way they should be eating and I've become their own personal Health and Nutrition Guru. The rest of them, though, think we're nuts.
So, neither a rebel nor a square - just off my rocker, apparently.

I'm a total square. I used to sing "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound" with my posse, but now I just get "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down" sung at me.

My family views me as a total orthorexic square. But I prefer Jedi-In-Training ;)

B/E Aerospace Wins Super First Class Program Award from Major Global Airline Initially Valued in Excess of $100 Million
This award is initially valued in excess of $100 million. Deliveries are expected to commence early in 2011.
WELLINGTON, Fla., Feb 02, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- B/E Aerospace (Nasdaq: BEAV), the world's leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products and the world's leading distributor of aerospace fasteners and consumables, today announced that it has been selected by a major global airline to outfit one of its new wide-body aircraft types and to retrofit certain of its existing international wide-body aircraft with B/E Aerospace Super First Class suites. This award is initially valued in excess of $100 million. Deliveries under the retrofit portion of the program represent in excess of 50 percent of the value of the initial program and are expected to commence early in 2011.
B/E Aerospace's Super First Class private suites provide first class international passengers with luxurious amenities, comfort and personal space including a fully flat bed, highly customizable levels of privacy, an ergonomically contoured seat backrest system, custom lighting features and enhanced interactive in-flight entertainment.
"We are honored to have been selected by one of the world's leading international airlines. Our Super First Class products provide international passengers with the ultimate in luxurious passenger comfort. This award reinforces our market position as the leading provider of premium class aircraft cabin interior products and further strengthens our position as the leading provider of Super First Class suites," said Amin J. Khoury, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of B/E Aerospace, Inc.
Mr. Khoury continued, "As expected, bookings improved during the fourth quarter of 2009 and represent the first quarterly period with a book-to-bill ratio in excess of one in over a year. Importantly, based upon discussions with a number of our major customers relative to their planned commercial aircraft spares purchases, our expectation that consumables demand should improve in 2010 consistent with higher levels of global airline traffic, a marked pick-up in request for quote activity for retrofit and new buy program awards, as well as the conversion of a portion of the supplier furnished equipment programs awards, which we have already won to purchase orders, we expect a book-to-bill ratio for 2010 in excess of 1 to 1 which we believe will drive a significant increase in revenues, earnings and cash flows beginning in 2011."

a couple of days ago, i finally upgraded to 1.1.4 using iLiberty+ 1.5
had to do it twice ... after 1st time, no WIFI, no phone ... did it again, this time with option "Unlock with 3.9 FB"
=> well, now everything worked ... just was i little bit suprised by the very special BackGroundImage (on slide to unlock screen) ...
... a somehow weird painting ... looks a little bit like a section of a medieval painting of hell ...
my Problem:
although the "painting" is not bad, i want to change it,
but cannot do that.
Neither with "normal" preferences nor with SummerBoard.
Somebody could tell me the trick, please?
Thanks in advance,
P.S. / edit:
i forgot to mention ... some of the SummerBoard-Themes doesn't seem to work (while some do) ... but this is another problem, i guess
and: sometimes, the contacts-Icon disappears from SB-Dock (made it visible with an "app" called "Contacts | HomeScreen" ... which was written for 1.1.2 according to its "info-section" ... couldn't find a newer solution, yet ... well, was not looking very hard ...)

Can you help us discover the untold stories of Liverpool's Black families in the First World War?
Liverpool has one of the oldest Black and Minority Ethnic communities in Europe, in some cases reaching back ten generations, yet photographs of Black First World War soldiers in local archives are incredibly rare.
The Museum of Liverpool has launched a project aimed at encouraging local Black families to research their First World War family histories. We want to collect the research and memories we uncover to fill this gap in our archives.
As part of a Liverpool Home Front exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the start of the war next summer, we will celebrate the contribution of Black and Minority Ethnic Liverpool families to the war effort.

The Museum of Liverpool is undertaking an oral history project to record memories of court housing | in the early 20th century. Back-to-back houses built around courtyards were a standard housing type in Liverpool from the 18th – 20th centuries. The last courts were demolished in re-housing programmes of the 1960s and 70s, and we'd like to capture memories of what life was like living in a court in the 20th century. We'd like to record interviews with people who remember life in a court as part of our Oral History collection: Liverpool Lives.

Ex-Track Coach's Trial Raises Unseemly Issues
Washington Post
Monday, May 19, 2008
More pain may be yet to come.
The biggest name to surface in the run-up to the Graham trial has been Maurice Greene, the former 100-meter champion world record holder who won two gold medals at the 2000 Olympics. Heredia told investigators Greene wired him $14,000 in 2003 for a massive assortment of performance-enhancing substances: testosterone cream, a peptide hormone called Gonadorelin, adrenalin, erythropoietin, human growth hormone and injectable IGF-1, according to his December 2006 interview with Novitzky and other agents, a copy of which The Washington Post obtained.
He claimed Greene "got scared" in 2004 and stopped working with him, but that he remained in touch with Greene's coach, John Smith, until days before the interview.
Greene, who never flunked a drug test, has denied using drugs and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the world track and field governing body, has stood by him. Greene's attorney, Emanuel Hudson, denied the allegations when contacted about them in January, calling them "ludicrous," but has not returned recent calls.

Although the Italian economy may be suffering, the brand name "Made in Italy," still continues to strive around the world. After Coca-Cola and Visa it is the most well-known and valued trademark in the world. According to ISTAT (The Italian National Institute of Statistics), when the international economy slipped into recession in December 2011, the Italian exports increased 4.2 percent and the total of non-EU exports shot to 44 percent, with Italy mostly exporting to China. There is a great demand for Italian products in China, especially luxury goods such as Ferragamo, Luxottica and Armani.
Wine is Italy's most important agricultural export, with the United States as its primary customer. Although, in the past few years, China has increased its wine imports by over 80 percent. Recently, there has also been a boom in Moscato sales in the United States and Barolo in Northern Europe and Asia. Italian vineyards have been concentrating on quality rather than blending wines and as a result exports have almost doubled! Hopefully sales will continue to increase around the world, not just for wine, but all Italian products!

An animal-rights group says its remote-controlled drone and video camera were shot down while filming footage of what it calls a "cruel live pigeon shoot" on Sunday.
But, the group says it did obtain video footage that it is reviewing, and it has released images of the damaged equipment.
SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness (or SHARK, for short) says it will be presenting its evidence to state police.
The incident unfolded around 3 p.m. Sunday at the Wing Pointe Gun Club on Moselem Springs Road in Perry Township, Berks County.
That's when SHARK says a rifle shot rang out and the video feed from its remote-controlled helicopter drone, dubbed "Angel," cut out.
The pilot, however, was able to regain control of the drone and bring it in for a landing, the group says.
The drone was smoking, its camera was destroyed, and the bullet apparently tore through the battery, resulting in total damage estimated at $4,000, according to SHARK.
Photos of that damage were released Monday, and SHARK says it also recorded video of all of the shooting club's members coming and going. The group alleges that rifles aren't actually allowed on the club's property.
FOX 29 News reached out to the club for comment Monday morning but did not immediately hear back.
State police say they're investigating the incident as criminal mischief. Anyone with information is asked to call the Hamburg barracks at (610) 562-6885.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Summary of Snowmen at Work Summary of Snowmen at Work Reviews for Snowmen at Work An Excerpt from Snowmen at Work
If you were a snowman, what job would you choose?
Ten years ago, on the publication of Snowmen at Night, we discovered the secret lives of snowmen. While we humans sleep, the snowmen go sledding, play baseball, and drink cocoa. But now it's revealed that snowmen don't just play all night--they have jobs to do, just like the parents of human kids. Dentists replace missing coal from snowman smiles while pet store owners help pair snowkids with their very own snowpuppy or snowfish to love. The pizza man delivers frozen pizza, and factory workers make the coolest toys in town.
This fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Snowmen series is a gleeful, goofy delight. Kids will love spotting the silly details in each illustration, and the hidden pictures too. (They can look on the back side of the book jacket for a key to all that's concealed within.)

I LOVE oatmeal...mmmm. But I know the prepackaged packets (you know, strawberry, peach, etc that are all really just apples dyed to match the fruit color they claim to be) aren't that great for you and are loaded with sugar, etc. So I tackled making my own:
You'll need quick oats, creamer, dried fruit, and baggies and a food processor or blender:
First up you're going to take some of your oats and cut them up in your food processor or blender - this is what will give you the consistency of the store-bought packets. So on the left is regular and on the right is after I put some in my food processor:
I saw several different recipes and versions on Pinterest, and combined them into what worked for me. When eating the store bought oatmeal, I use 2 packets, so I made my homemade version a generous helping.
Each baggie includes:
1/2 cup quick oats
1/8 cup blended quick oats (from the food processor)
1 tbsp creamer (because the store kind I like is "strawberries and cream" or "peaches and cream")
1-2 tbsp dried fruit - I had strawberry, peach, and coconut pineapple
So, verdict - - it's alright. It mixes up just like the store packets - same consistency, etc. Looks perfect. But when I eat it, I know it's missing the loads of sugar. It's good and all, just doesn't have the exact same taste. I think it'd be better with more fruit, but that dried fruit was pricey and I was stingy.
Have you ever tried making your own Oatmeal Packets before?

Five percent of U.S. consumers have an error on their credit report that "could lead to them paying more for products such as auto loans and insurance," the Federal Trade Commission said Monday, as it issued a long-awaited study of credit report accuracy.
"These are eye-opening numbers for American consumers," said Howard Shelanski, director of the FTC's Bureau of Economics. "The results of this first-of-its-kind study make it clear that consumers should check their credit reports regularly. If they don't, they are potentially putting their pocketbooks at risk."
The trade group for the nation's credit reporting agencies issued a swift response challenging the agency's interpretation, saying the study shows credit reports are "highly accurate."
"The study also showed that 95 percent of consumers are unaffected by errors in their credit report," the Consumer Data Industry Association said in a statement.
The FTC study, eight years in the making, also tracked consumers as they tried to fix or dispute errors in their credit reports. More than one in 10 who did this saw their credit score change as a result.The study was ordered by Congress in 2003, when it passed the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act. The FTC followed 1,001 consumers as they tried to navigate the credit report system and to fix mistakes in their reports.
Among other things, the study found:
- 26 percent of consumers in the study identified a "potentially material error";
- 21 percent managed to obtain a modification of an error;
- Roughly half of that group experienced a change in credit score;
- Most of those credit score changes were minor, with roughly half resulting in swings of 20 points or less;
- The most important finding of all: For 52 of individuals studied, "the resulting increase was such that their credit risk tier decreased," meaning they were likely to get cheaper loan rates.
Consumer groups responding to the study said it indicates a need for reform of the credit reporting industry."It's unconscionable that 40 million American have errors in their credit reports, and that 10 million have errors grave enough to cause them to be denied or charged more for credit or insurance or even be denied a job," said Chi Chi Wu, staff attorney at the National Consumer Law Center.
Studies of credit report errors have been conducted before, but they have produced confusing results. Many errors are not material — a misspelled street name for example. And errors are not the real problem — lower credit scores that cost consumers when they try to get loans are. Credit bureaus are required by law to quickly fix mistakes, but there have long been allegations that the dispute process is difficult and stacked against consumers. The FTC report attempts to address that, too.
Of the 262 consumers in the study who disputed information they said was inaccurate:
- 37 percent said all their concerns were addressed;
- 42 percent said their report had been modified, but there were still errors on their report;
- 21 percent said they were unsuccessful in getting their reports modified.
The report did not attempt to establish the veracity of the consumers' disputes.
Credit expert John Ulzheimer, who helped develop the credit score and is now president of Consumer Education at SmartCredit.com, said he felt both the FTC and the credit industry trade group were "embellishing" their claims about the results of the study, but he, too, found the FTC data troubling.
"I'd side with the FTC that the results are more disturbing than they are confirming credit files are accurate," he said. He suggested taking the dispute results with "a grain of salt" because the errors claimed by consumers were not independently confirmed.
FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz told CBS News, which first reported the study's findings on "60 Minutes," that the results were "highly troubling. ... It's a pretty high error rate."
The credit industry began fighting back even before the "60 Minutes" segment aired. It issued a press release Sunday afternoon, and several employees of Experian spent the evening sending tweets to Twitter users who attacked the industry.
"It's easy to selectively hype snippets from the FTC study to sensationalize the issue," Stuart Pratt, consumer data industry spokesman, said in the release. "But the number important to consumers is the one they ignored – that only 2.2 percent of credit reports contain material errors."
The industry and FTC numbers differ because they describe slightly different things: The FTC says 5 percent of consumers are impacted by a serious credit report error, while the industry derives its 2.2 percent figure from the fact that consumers have three different major credit reports, and often errors appear on only one or two of those.
The industry also disagrees that errors are hard to fix.
"The notion that it is difficult to dispute an error is just wrong. It is irresponsible to suggest to consumers that they might as well not take action when they have a question about their credit report," Pratt said.
Experian public relations officials repeatedly sent out this message last night: "If you ever spot an error on your credit report, please report here http://t.co/5nncPpfP Avg dispute time is 14 days."
It also sent users to the Experian website to read about the firm's policies
"Experian's Commitment to Data Integrity, Customer Service and Consumer Education http://t.co/kejlxpQYvia @ExperianNews"
Some Twitter users complained about Tweet campaign:
"@Experian_US so (you are) responding (to) tweets from US but resolving life changing disputes from Chile and India!Priorities please!!!" wrote @elizabethforma.
As the Red Tape Chronicles and other outlets have reported, consumers disputes are often sent overseas for consideration, and workers in places like India and Chile only have a few moments to consider each dispute.
An Experian official who was sending out Tweets would not agree to be interviewed by NBC News; she directed questions to Pratt at the industry group.

When players think of the backswing, they usually focus on two things. The first, if the club does not reach at least a horizontal position, then the player made less than a full swing. The second, the longer the backswing the further they will be able to hit the ball. If this was true, why then do we see so many PGA Tour players with backswings where their club does not reach horizontal yet they hit the ball such long distances?
When we are assessing a player's swing in our Golf Schools, we are looking at a couple of key areas when making decisions about the efficiency of a backswing:
1. Body rotation. In an athletic backswing, we are looking for the upper body to have turned about 90 degrees to the target line and the hips about 40 to 45 degrees. In this position the back is facing target, and the lead shoulder is turned under the chin.
2. Weight transfer. The role of the backswing is to load the body so that you can unload into the downswing thus producing high club head speed and distance. While turning into the backswing, feel as though you pivot around your trail hip. This will allow the weight to load into the inside of your trail foot. In this position, you are balanced and loaded behind the ball to be able to make a dynamic and explosive move into the downswing.
3. Arm position. The arms and upper body need to work together to provide consistency in both backswing and through impact. At address the hands and arms are in front of the chest. At impact they are in a similar position. If the arms are in front of the chest at address and impact it makes sense to keep them in front for the entire swing rather than getting them out of position in the backswing and then trying to recapture that position in the downswing.
There are a couple of very good yet simple drills that you can do to learn the movements of an athletic backswing:
Basketball Drill. Take your normal address posture and hold a basketball in both hands in front of you. Keeping your elbows close to the body, turn to the right, for a right hand player, pretending to hand the ball to someone. Once there, lift the arms up in front of the body, being sure to maintain good posture. This is a great example of how the backswing works. The upper body rotation takes the arms and basketball away and then the arms lift in front of the body to get the ball above shoulder height.
Shoulder Arms Drill - From your normal address position keep your body angles and cock the wrists to bring the club up in front of you. Then lift your arms in front of the body to set the club over your trail shoulder before finally turning the upper body as you would in your backswing. This is where you should be at the top of your backswing and this drill is a very simple way of learning that position.

As a dedicated member of the Seattle Community, Chad is active in the Washington State Restaurant Association and serves on the board of the Seattle Sports Commission, as well as the Seattle Convention and Visitor's Bureau, where he is currently chair. Previously, he served timeon the Tourism Advisory Committee that established the Washington State Tourism Commission. Active in many philanthropic organizations, Chad and his wife Jennifer co-chaired Seattle Aquarium's 2012 Splash! Fundraising event, as well as the Celebrity Waiter's luncheon, benefitting Leukemia Lymphoma.
Chad holds a BA in Business Administration from Seattle University and is a private pilot who flies a Piper Cherokee.
His wife, Jennifer, is a tax attorney and mother of their two sons, Eliot and Owen.
Sharp held a number of different posts including managing the food service division at Steven's Pass, the broiler at Mirabeau Restaurant and butchering for the Red Lion Inns. Sharp spent five years as the chef at the Seafirst Bank Executive Dining Room redesigning and constantly upgrading its cuisine.
In 1984, Sharp had the opportunity to join legendary Executive Chef Earl Owens at the newly opened Metropolitan Grill. He went to work with general manager Paul Mackay to make the "Met" a legendary steakhouse. Collecting accolades for the "Met," Sharp collaborated with the parent company, Consolidated Restaurants, on projects such as Union Square Grill and Pescatore until 1996.
In 1996, Mackay recruited Sharp to join him for his newest venture, a revamped Gaucho in Belltown. His culinary expertise in both cooking and the preparation of specialty beef made him a natural choice to head the kitchen at El Gaucho.
As Corporate Executive Chef, Sharp brings his ability and expertise to each of the El Gaucho Restaurants. In addition to recreating his legendary "best steak in town" at each El Gaucho, Sharp oversees all of the sourcing for Mackay's seafood restaurant, AQUA by El Gaucho.
Raised on a third generation wheat and cattle family farm, and with a degree from Washington State University in Communications, Tamara now loves living in "the big city." In her spare time, you might find her cooking or baking, trying new restaurants, or attending a show with friends and family. She enjoys running, and has completed a marathon, many halves, and two triathalons, but her greatest joy is being mom to her 2-year-old son, Gunnar.
Siv's real name is April, because her parents thought Siv was too Swedish. However, she now goes by Siv or Sivi. When she's not shopping at Nordstrom or collecting designer handbags, you might find Siv dining on crab or lobster with a glass of champagne, watching any of the Real Housewives, or listening to Jay-Z. Siv lives by the quote from Aristotle, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."
In the fall of 1995, Tony packed up his golf clubs and trekked to Seattle, and also made the switch from hotels to restaurants. Starting as the maître d' at West Seattle's iconic Salty's on Alki, he stayed for nine years and worked his way up to General Manager. After a few years at Ivar's Salmon House, the opportunity arose to work with friend and colleague Cooper Mills at El Gaucho Seattle. With a strong belief in the concept, atmosphere, character, and integrity that Paul Mackay has created with El Gaucho, Tony has enjoyed his time in fine dining. After all these years he still has the passion to please that he did as a new bellman at the Phoenician resort many years ago.
In his spare time, John loves reading, golfing, traveling, exploring the world of wine, and spending time with his family, daughter Summer, and step-children Cade and Gianna. Among other things, John is known for his dry sense of humor, being a consummate team player, and has a certain disregard for his physical well being when it comes to sports. He was able to travel to East Germany/East Berlin before the wall fell, and he danced to the Blue Danube at the Hapsburg Palace in Vienna, Austria during the wintertime ball.
Cooper loves being dad to his 5-year-old daughter, Sophia Grace, and recently became engaged. In his spare time, he enjoys camping, golfing, Husky Football, playing saxophone, driving his 1974 VW, and playing catch with his Jack Russell named Sampson. In his home town he's known and remembered for singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas" in his 5th grade play, which people still talk about today! Some of his most treasured items include his grandfather's 1944 World Series Ring,
James grew up in the San Francisco area, and moved to Washington in 1998. He enjoys spending time with his two daughters and wife, who is working toward her CPA, and adheres to the "work hard, play hard" mentality. He loves all sports and dining, and loves to try new foods and preparations, especially if it involves dipping into sauces and condiments. Not many know (until now!) that James owns more than 20 bottles of cologne, but he is best known for his contagious laugh and welcoming attitude.
David and his partner James recently bought their first house and share it with their two dogs, Jacob and Ianto. In his spare time, David loves to cook, garden, and hike.

Public elementary school teachers are picketing in front of schools this morning.
The one-day strike is in response to the Ontario's government's legislation which teachers say impedes collective bargaining.
"Bill 115 has set such rigid parameters that we are having to take pause to send the minister a message that her approach is not working," says Dave Wing, president of the Kawartha Pine Ridge teacher local union.
"My members don't take this action lightly but it's a necessary step in trying to find a resolution."
The public board's elementary and high school teachers are currently without contracts.
The one-day strikes are taking place in communities across Ontario. While public elementary schools are closed for today, their Catholic counterparts are open.

Welcome to View from Here, a travel blog, where I write about living in, traveling about and experiencing Hawaii as a malihini, a 12-year-resident of the Hawaiian Islands. My name is Kim Steutermann Rogers, and you're likely to find blog posts here about food--who doesn't like to eat?--and outdoor adventure. Like hiking through Haleakala on Maui. Diving with manta rays off Hawaii (Big) Island. Snorkeling Shark's Cove on Oahu. And paddling Napali Coast of my home island, Kauai. Not that I'm some, young, adrenaline junkie. Those days are long over. I just enjoy collecting life experiences. And that's why you probably won't find much in the way of shopping here, unless it's about a fantastic, locally-made product--like soap--and the charming, young, single-mother who makes it. Then, I gush on and on. Oh, as a warning, I can sometimes jump on my soap box and write about the realities of marine debris, Hawaii's endangered species--like humpback whales and Hawaiian monk seals--great book discoveries and the wonders of nature. And my dogs.

The caption below the photo on the wall said, "Arancino: A Spaghetti Place." But Arancino on Beach walk is much more than your run-of-the-mill spaghetti place. I figured that out the first evening I walked out of Outrigger Regency on Beach Walk in search of dining options and saw the crowd of people hovering outside the sliver of a restaurant located on a quiet street in Waikiki.

Right at 6:00 as the sun made its descent in Waikiki, throwing a golden glow on the volcanic crater known as Diamond Head--or Leahi in Hawaiian--three women strolled through the lobby of Outrigger Reef on the Beach. They beelined--as best as the women, one using a cane, could beeline--for Kani Ka Pila Grille, and parked themselves at a particular table--a four-top with a direct view of the stage where Kawika Kahiapo was tuning his slack key guitar.

My husband and I are on vacation this week, celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Three years ago, on October 22, we celebrated at a new restaurant on Kauai. During our 25 years of marriage, I've watched other friends marry, as well. Some stay married. Others do not--even those I thought were made for each other. The same can be said for restaurants on Kauai: Some come; some go. But not The Tavern at Princeville by Roy Yamaguchi. Its menu items may have changed since we visited in 2010 but the place is still doing well, based on its Yelp reviews.

One of my rules of travel is to never eat at a place where I can eat at home. So, last week, I found myself at Home Maid Bakery within 15 minutes of landing at OGG—Kahului Airport on Maui. I've found some favorite eateries throughout my years of traveling the Hawaiian Islands. Here's a list of those haunts I managed to frequent on Maui last week.

I met John Cadman at the Breadfruit Festival on Kauai in early September. He was wearing a vintage aloha shirt, rubber slippahs, and a recently-woven lau hala hat to keep the sun off his pale face. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm a little haole," he said, using the common word in Hawaii for "white person." "And here I was introducing breadfruit to Hawaiians at Kamehameha Schools."

We're sitting at a community table at Maui Brewing Company on a Friday evening. The restaurant is full with people flowing out the front door, jockeying to add their names to a waitlist. The crowd surprises me. The Kahana Gateway Center is a mild-mannered shopping center at the northwestern end of Honoapiilani Highway in West Maui—beyond the scene of Lahaina, beyond the energy of Kaanapali.

One of the first rules of travel writing is if everything goes swimmingly on a trip, you're dead in the water. So, how do you make a story about the most benign topic--banana bread--interesting? I mean, what can go wrong with banana bread?

As the sun set on Waikiki, the rest of our table, some 20 diners, received their pupu, appetizer, before Lisa and me. It wasn't that the courteous servers at Hula Grill hadn't tried to place the dish they called "Smoked Big Island Abalone BLT" in front of us. More than one had tried. "No," we said again and again, shaking our heads. "We ordered vegetarian."

It Begins! Leafs vs Canadiens, 7pm (CBC)
The wait is over. After yet another long off-season following a fifth consecutive year of missing out on the NHL post-season, the Toronto Maple Leafs are set to kick off the 2010-11 season against their oldest rival, the Montreal Canadiens.
Both teams have undergone an off-season where – despite the lack of a full-scale overhaul – crucial moves were made to bring in key players or (in Montreal's case) provide a better opportunity for players already in the organization. Gone from the 2009-10 Toronto lineup are Viktor Stalberg, Rickard Wallin and Keith Primeau, replaced by Kris Versteeg, Colby Armstrong, and Brett Lebda. In Montreal, the most impactful move was the trade of playoff hero Jaroslav Halak to St Louis in exchange for Lars Eller, a move which paves the way for Carey Price to assert his standing among starting NHL netminders.

While the economy is showing signs of life, not every Fortune 500 company is benefiting. Botched restructuring efforts, misguided management, and bum technology plays plagued this year's 10 worst performers.
For investors in these Fortune 500 companies, it was a horrible, no good, very bad year, with stocks of each falling more than 45%. One company, the iconic Eastman Kodak, filed for Chapter 11.
The outcomes were similar, but the reasons for the slumps vary. At J.C. Penney, a stalled turnaround crushed stockholders' hopes that CEO Ron Johnson was going to work miracles for the struggling retailer. Chipmaker AMD laid off hundreds as it struggled to adapt to the mobile wave. And in Kodak's case, the advent of the digital camera finally proved too much for the filmmaker to bear.
These companies are outliers this year. As of December 7, only 98 of the Fortune 500 companies' stock prices had gone down. Of those companies, 77 fell less than 25%. Click through to find out what went wrong with the bottom 10.
It's been a strong year for stocks, and these ten Fortune 500 companies have outshined the broader market. Nearly all of them have doubled. From Bank of America to Whirlpool, here are the biggest winners.
